A computer in a simulation will not have the same processing power as the computer that's running the simulation, Cain explains, so there will be inconsistencies or tell-tale signs, perhaps ...

Abstract R is an open-source programming language and environment with powerful and extensive features for data analysis, data visualization, and statistical computing. Although R first appeared in ...

In this week's It’s Debatable article, Rick Rosen and Charles Moster debate whether we're all living in a computer simulation like the Matrix. Rosen retired as a professor from the Texas Tech ...

For example, a team of theoretical physicists from Oxford University asserts there aren't enough atoms in the universe to create sufficient computing memory for storing a realistic simulation of ...

Or whether we’re living in a computer simulation, something proposed by Swedish philosopher Nick Bostrom and others, and maybe your stoned friend Chad last week.

The simulation hypothesis, which was famously probed in the 1999 film The Matrix, is the subject of a new book by Rizwan Virk, a computer scientist and video game developer who leads Play Labs at ...

Swedish Philosopher Nick Bostrom’s simulation argument says we might be living in a computer-generated reality. Maybe he’s right. There currently exists no known method by which we could ...

The hypothesis that you are just a computer simulation is far less plausible than that you operate in reality via your senses.

Boiler simulation can be a useful tool for in-depth investigation of various operating issues in an HRSG. The examples presented here used relatively straightforward steady-state models to look ...

Unlike the real-world hypothesis, the simulation hypothesis assumes that there is a computer simulation that is generating your experiences. Who produced the computer simulation that you are ...
